Who among the following made the statement that "war is an instrument of policy by other means" ?
Answer: A
The statement is Carl Von Clausewitz's.
In On War (Vom Kriege, 1832), the Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz wrote that war is merely the continuation of policy by other means. The idea is that war is not an end in itself but an instrument of the state's political purpose, which must govern its conduct.
Frederick the Great was a Prussian king and commander, J. F. C. Fuller a British theorist of mechanised warfare, and Antoine-Henri Jomini a Swiss-French writer on the principles of strategy. None of them is the source of this dictum.
